Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 217
The smile on Melody's face faded as she looked at Juan and Debra. "If you two want to go out on a date, go ahead, but you must be back by tonight. It's not right to spend the whole day out.""Understood," Juan replied, his appetite suddenly vanishing. He stood up from the table and turned to Debra. "Go change your clothes. I'll wait outside.""Okay," Debra agreed, casting a glance at Hester as she rose from her seat.Hester's gaze followed Juan, her eyes filled with an affection that spoke volumes.Debra quickly changed her clothes upstairs. When she came back down, Hester looked even more despondent than before.Outside, Juan was already in the driver's seat of his car, having prepared a seat cushion for Debra."Get in."Debra slid into the passenger seat. Juan didn't start the engine right away. Instead, he remained silent for a moment."Grandma is just worried you might not care about me.""I know."Not naïve, she understood the dynamics at play. The Vargas family was just

Debra froze, confused by his actions.As Juan leaned in, she quickly turned her head away.Juan stiffened before finally pulling back and releasing her."Come to the company with me. I'll handle things real quick."Debra opened her mouth to refuse, but Juan pressed on. "Since you promised me you'd give me three months, let me stay with you a bit longer, okay?"She hesitated, taken aback by the humility in his voice. This was a side of Juan she had rarely seen. He was always so aloof, so distant.After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and nodded. "Okay."A smile spread across Juan's face, and he turned the car around. Chaos reigned at the company. As he strode into the lobby, Joe rushed towards him, relief etched onto his face."Sir, you're finally here."Juan had been disoriented these past few days. Even during meetings, he couldn't focus. The company needed his decisive leadership urgently."Sir, all the board members are waiting for you in the conference room."Jo

Some board members immediately voiced their complaints."Mr. Nichols, we have important matters to discuss. Let's not bring in unrelated people.""Ms. Frazier is associated with McKinney Group. Who knows if she might leak information to them?"Debra maintained a stoic expression, her eyes scanning the room filled with the so-called old guard of Nichols Group.She hadn't expected to find herself in the middle of their arguments. If it weren't for Juan holding the reins, these stubborn old directors would probably have run the company into the ground by now."Debra is my wife, and her presence here is perfectly reasonable," Juan reasoned."Mr. Nichols, she isn't one of us and won't prioritize the company's interests. I suggest you have her leave. Otherwise, we won't be comfortable discussing sensitive matters.""I've transferred 20% of the company's shares to her. Now, she's part of Nichols Group, holding more shares than any of you. Does that still matter?"Joe was shocked. "Mr.

"Okay." Debra nodded in agreement, following Joe to the adjacent lounge. "Madam, is there anything special you'd like to eat?""Just pour me a cup of tea, please.""Of course."Joe moved to the tea set. Debra sat down on the sofa and asked, "How has Juan been at the company lately?""Mr. Nichols? Lately, he's been distracted and drinking more than usual. Today is the most normal he's been in a while. It's all thanks to you, Madam.""He's been drinking?""Don't you know? The last time Mr. Nichols went to McKinney Group, he was drunk. He's been drinking too much these days. I'm really worried about him.""Why did he suddenly go to McKinney Group? Do you know?""Um... not really."Debra could tell he was hiding something. She lowered her gaze thoughtfully.Joe must know something, but knowing and telling were different. After all, her status was dubious. Even the board members thought so, let alone others."I see. Well, you can go now. I'll handle him. I'd like to rest a bi

Just as Debra hesitated, the door to the lounge swung open abruptly.Joe stepped in, balancing a silver platter with several slices of cheesecake arranged elegantly on top.Debra, with the phone still pressed to her ear, hurriedly wrapped up her conversation. "I have some matters to attend to here. Let's reconnect tonight.""Understood, Ms. Frazier."The call ended.Joe approached the table and placed the platter in front of Debra. "Mr. Nichols asked me to bring you this, saying it's your favorite."Debra cast a glance at the cheesecake. She used to love it. She wondered how Juan knew. He had never shown much interest in her preferences before."Thank you, Joe. I'll rest here for a bit. Please let me know when he is done.""Of course, madam."Joe exited the room.Debra stared at the cheesecake, her mind whirring. 'What game is Juan playing?' she thought.She didn't believe he was helpless against the McKinney Group, and his actions today were uncharacteristically strange.

Debra strode out of the lounge. Joe came in and advised, "Sir, even if you want to compensate Mrs. Nichols, there must be a better way. If you transfer these shares to her, your rights..."The power dynamics of a company were intrinsically linked to its stakeholders.With twenty percent of the shares now in Debra's hands, the future of Nichols Group could be at stake if they ever had a falling out.Juan watched Debra leave, his eyes darkening with a mix of resolve and apprehension. "It's alright, Joe. This is just a gamble I'm willing to take."Debra wasted no time in returning to Frazier Entertainment. She needed to ensure her newfound leverage was airtight.She handed the contract to Ben, who looked puzzled. "Ms. Frazier, what's this?""Take it to the Legal Department. I want it scrutinized for any loopholes.""Will do."As Ben prepared to leave, Debra stopped him. "Wait.""Anything else?""Help me investigate Shelia's background," she said. "Focus on her middle and high sc

Debra found Michael's thought process inscrutable, but she decided to play along.By evening, she had booked a lavish restaurant, securing a private room to accommodate Michael's public status.She found herself seated in the passenger seat of his sports car, the thrill of the ride coursing through her veins.It was unexpected that Michael, who maintained a daily facade of depth and mystery, was revealing a mischievous side that relished such exhilarating activities."Princess, please step out," Michael announced, opening the car door with a flourish.Debra had dressed casually without any makeup on. She even donned a mask to suit Michael's status.In contrast, Michael seemed relaxed, strolling about and showing no sign of wanting to conceal his identity."Michael, you're a popular celebrity now," Debra remarked. "Walking around like this, you're bound to be recognized. Tomorrow's headline might be 'Michael dines with a mysterious woman'."Michael chuckled. "Creating some news.

"What's the story behind the private school?" Debra asked, her voice laced with suspicion.Michael shook his head. "I can't say for certain, but Shelia wasn't a student at some prestigious private school. Anyone attending Beaconridge High comes from a modest family background. From what I recall, her mother was addicted to gambling, leaving them in a tough financial situation. Our homeroom teacher once pressured her about tuition fees. Although Shelia insisted she could raise the money, she ended up dropping out."Debra's brows furrowed as she listened intently.'So, Shelia isn't an orphan after all," she thought."I know that the private school only accepts girls from orphanages," she said. "Every year, the Nichols Group and other enterprises sponsor one or two girls from there."She remembered how, in her past life, the Nichols Group had sponsored many students, but Shelia was an exception. It all began when Juan caught Shelia feeding stray cats during a sponsorship meeting.In

Debra twisted open a bottle of water and rinsed her mouth."I've heard that people who love to speed tend to get concussions. Be careful. Don't die from them in your sleep.""Don't worry. I'll live longer than you and Marion."His phone rang, and Drake sneered, "See? That's less than 20 minutes."Then he spoke into the phone. "Just bring them over."Kale hesitated. "Boss, we haven't caught them yet.""What the hell? Then why are you calling me?""We've found out his identity.""Who?"Kale revealed the answer, and Drake fell silent.Noticing his dark expression, Debra asked deliberately, "Found them? Where are they?"Drake hung up the phone, tossing the car keys to her. "It's time to close the net. Just go ahead and park the car in the garage.""Park the car? Me?" Debra blinked.Another car quickly pulled up. The driver got out and opened the car door for Drake."Kale asked me to pick you up, boss."Drake nodded and slid into the car.Debra narrowed her eyes, feeling tha

"Can it be repaired?" Debra sulked, poking her forehead with his finger. "You just wouldn't stop causing trouble for me.""It's just a car. Don't get so worked up," Debra groaned."Did you see who did it?""No.""Then how did you know the car was tampered with?""I did catch a glimpse of a shadow darting behind me. I didn't see his face, but it seemed to be a man."She pointed to the streetlight behind her, where the figure had disappeared.Drake turned to Kale, who had gotten out of the car. "Check the surveillance cameras in the area. Have our men surround the place and screen for suspicious individuals.""Understood," Kale acknowledged.Drake's gaze then flickered to the two guards. "What are you good at? You can't even catch one person.""It was me who spotted the problem," Debra chimed in. "They didn't see anything."Her words made the two guards shift uncomfortably.Drake sighed, "Forget it. Get in the car. We'll talk about it at home."The two vans pulled up, and do

Theda was implying something, and Debra probed, "I don't think so. Drake rules Orkgate, and I'm staying in his house. Who would dare to touch me?""Who knows?" Theda shrugged. "There's always someone stronger. Drake may not be the true top dog here."She stood up, smoothing out her clothes. "Robert's actions were a mistake on my part, so consider the shares as compensation. Now we're even, and I'll compete with you fairly."With that, she left with her bodyguards.Debra glanced down at the document and put it away. The purpose of the meeting was clear, but it was surprising that Theda hadn't fussed over Robert's injury.In a way, Theda was an upright opponent, but business wars needed no morals."Ma'am, are you ready to leave?" one of the bodyguards asked.Debra turned and saw them shaken. Apparently, they were afraid those two burly bodyguards might return."Let's go," Debra said calmly.Immediately, the two men flanked her and escorted her to the car. As she was about to get

Garland rushed upstairs, shouting, "Liza, you rascal. You're dead to make that call."Debra set down her knife and fork. She had been worried that Fermin was playing dumb, but now she was sure the man with them was Garland, who was simple-minded and easy to fool. That was a relief.Her phone suddenly buzzed with a message from an unknown number. She looked down and saw a message from Theda, who requested to meet her at the airport in an hour.On the second floor, Drake stormed out of his room, irritated. "Debra, can't you control your people? I don't want this racket in my house."Debra looked up to see his weary expression, realizing he had been sorting through business data all day.She replied, "Sorry about that. I'll keep them in check."At the same time, Garland's shouting rang out again. "I'll smash your phone."Noises of a scuffle ensued, which further irritated Drake.He regretted ever letting Liza and Garland stay. It was only the first day, and they were already causi

Liza slammed her hands on the table. "How could you fall for a married woman?""Liza, calm down. It's not like that," Garland tried to explain.Debra interrupted him with a sigh, "Your confession was really touching. If you had shown up a bit earlier..."Liza was shocked. "You what? That's it. I'm telling Dad.""Liza!" Garland was eager to soothe her, but she dashed upstairs.Nonchalant, Debra continued to sip her soup."How could you do this?" Garland grumbled."I was speaking the truth." Debra shrugged innocently. "Or do you have ulterior motives to ask about my daily routine?"Garland swallowed hard, knowing it was yet another test.'As Juan said, Debra is not easy to fool. And following this logic, I'd be the lovelorn third male lead, following Juan. No. I don't deserve that title.'"Mrs. Houston," Garland hesitated, "honestly, I don't have feelings for you. It's just that I have my complicated reasons."He couldn't decide whether to spill everything or keep quiet. If he

"Half true, half false.""Tell me about it.""I'm not sure about the rest, but I'm certain his feelings for you are fake," Marion asserted.Debra raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying my charm is weak? How can you be so sure?""When you love someone, you can't hide it in your eyes," Marion replied.Confession was something even he found hard to do, but Garland had been too casual about it. There was no hint of affection in his eyes. Marion figured it was just an excuse.Debra blushed under his fervent gaze. "Alright. You're an expert. No one knows love better than you do."She remembered the times before she accepted Marion's feelings. She had misunderstood his constant attention, thinking he was plotting against her.It was only later that she realized he liked her."But if Garland doesn't like me, why is he recording my every move?" Debra asked.Marion looked away. "I don't know.""You don't know, or you don't want to tell me?" Debra scrutinized him. "Are you hiding somethi

Unable to bear it, Marion broke the silence."Mr. Eaton, do you have something to say?""Actually, I am not Fermin."His confession didn't surprise them in the slightest, but their reaction surprised him.He cleared his throat. "Uh, could you at least react a little? This is getting awkward.""Oh," Debra said casually. "So, why are you suddenly telling us this?""Well," Garland started to explain, "I snuck out alone and used Fermin's identity since we're twins. The outsiders can't tell us apart, and I enjoy throwing his name around. It's embarrassing, but it's the truth. You guys are my friends, and I don't want to lie to you. Please don't rat me out, or I'm done for."Debra pressed, "So, what were you in Seamar City?""It was all for the New Age," Garland replied. "I don't have any other hobbies, but I love journalism and being a reporter."He paused and added, "I swear, I never meant you any harm. If I get caught and sent back, I'll never get out again."Debra leaned in. "T

"Yes. She rattled off the pros and cons. I didn't understand a word of it, but somehow, I managed to muddle through. The problem is, I am not the decision maker. What if she follows up and presses me?" Garland said.Juan muttered, "Her company is doing well. Why would she need to work with you?""I don't know.""Did something go wrong with her company?""I've no idea.""Is the Buchan Group targeting them?""I'm not sure."Frustrated, Juan rubbed his temples. "You had a meeting. Surely, you remember something."Garland recalled it. "Well, she said something about Theda trying to get their hands on the shares of the Nichols Group. Then she said Theda couldn't get them. In the end, she proposed to work with me to dominate overseas and Seamar City markets. I told her I'd take it back to the company for discussion, but she hit me with this thing about me being the sole decision-maker for overseas operations. I panicked and said we didn't have any assets in Seamar City. Then she drop

"Yep.""I thought you meant my company.""Not really," Garland quickly reassured her. "Even if Theda has those shares, she can't compete with you."Debra took a sip of what she thought was tea, only to realize it was Coke. She glanced at Garland, who was wolfing down his food with no regard for manners."I've heard that you have a ruthless streak and get things done efficiently," she probed. "If we join hands, dominating overseas and Seamar City markets won't be a problem. What do you think?"Garland nearly choked on the food. 'Ruthless? Efficient? That sounds more like my dad.'As for cooperation, he didn't have the authority to make that decision."What you're saying makes sense," he stammered. "Given our relationship, a partnership wouldn't be a problem. But this is a big decision. I'll need to discuss it with my dad."Noticing Debra's suspicious look, he quickly corrected himself. "I mean, I'll talk to the shareholders and get my dad's approval.""I heard that your father
